Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die Combining more than one drug may kill more cancer cells
PURPOSE Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining cytarabine and mitoxantrone in treating patients who have recurrent or refractory leukemia or lymphoma
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES
Determine non-hematologic toxic effects of high-dose cytarabine and high-dose mitoxantrone in patients with recurrent or refractory leukemia or lymphoma Determine the in vitro TNK lymphocyte proliferative responses to patients leukemialymphoma cells before and after treatment with this regimen
OUTLINE Patients receive high-dose cytarabine IV over 1 hour on days 1-5 and high-dose mitoxantrone IV over 15-30 minutes on day 5 Patients also receive sargramostim GM-CSF subcutaneously beginning on day 14 and continuing until blood counts recover
Patients who achieve at least stable disease or a response may receive a second course beginning at least 14 days after the first course is completed
Patients are followed for 3 months
PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 20-30 patients will be accrued for this study within approximately 2-3 years
